Description: Installing (Social) Order is a blog on the sociology of infrastructure, exploring the sociotechnical nerves of contemporary society.
In 2015, Andy Borowitz wrote a piece for the New Yorker on the dismal state of American infrastructure in light of a mandate to build a “giant” wall.
Great video worth the time to listen (about 30 mins) about the history of “public works” in the US and around the world, and the term’s gradual replacement with “infrastructure.”
